WTS OR 1854 Enfield - MKS - Free Bayonet, Free Scabbard - $375

[thomas-emard]

The 1858 Enfield Tower was designed with, oddly enough, inferiority of force in mind. The British Empire was not about to trust colonial armies (having learned their lesson here in the USA among other colonial pursuits) with the state-of-the-art rifle-muskets of the time, such as the P53 Enfield. Instead, they opted to make the same essential firearm, but smoothbored. Thus even if a colonial army rose in revolt, it would find itself sorely out-matched against British regulars. For sale is a single model of this, with no dating on the lock itself (so feel free to represent any armory or specific year you like best), as well as a new bayonet (requires machining to fit) for free, and a used scabbard, also for free. That is a $100 value added at no charge, in addition to the firearm itself being priced well below retail value.
